Telemeta is a free and open source collaborative multimedia asset management system (MAM) which introduces fast and secure methods to archive, backup, transcode, analyse, annotate and publish any digitalized video or audio file with extensive metadata. It is dedicated to collaborative media archiving projects, research laboratories and digital humanities - especially in ethno-musicological use cases - who need to easily organize and publish documented sound collections of audio files, CDs, digitalized vinyls and magnetic tapes over a strong database, through a smart and secure platform, in accordance with open web standards.

To fund this long time libre and open source project, we need your explicit support. So if you use Telemeta in production or even in a development or experimental setup, please let us know by:

* staring or forking the project on GitHub_* tweeting something to `@parisson_studio <https://twitter.com/parisson_studio>`_ or `@telemeta <https://twitter.com/telemeta>`_* drop us an email <support@parisson.com>

Thank you so much for your help!

News=====1.6.4+++++ * Minor bug fixes and improvments * Fix HTML5 audio compatibility (#173) for the web audio player.

Media files are now serves through Nginx (#155) which enables to stream music with byte range requests. * Add a User permission "can_run_analysis" to specify that a user or a group of users has the right to list and select advanced Timeside analysis to be displayed in the Timeside web audio player. * Add enumeration management and statitics * Improved media security allowing streaming through Nginx only from the application * Add TimeSide as a submodule * Add a validator for Corpus and Fonds * Upgrade various dependencies

1.6++++

Telemeta is now usable on **any OS**, ready for development and for production in 5 mn! B-)

* Provide a docker image and composition for the full Telemeta application bundle. One month after the publication of docker-compose around march 2015, we had managed to build a prototyped composition which bundled all the dependencies of Telemeta and TimeSide. It took almost one year to deeply investigate all the capabilities of Docker and various images to finally release a propoer composition which bundles all the necessary applications and modules.* Full refactoring of the search engine and interface using django-haystack and ElasticSearch with new faceting and smart filtering features* Add an automatic EPUB3 ebook exporter for corpus and collections embedding metadata, image and audio materials.* More inline forms and functional buttons* Install new useful tools and modules like Conda, Jupyter notebook and `many others <https://github.com/Parisson/TimeSide/blob/master/conda-requirements.txt>`_* Add resource sharing links* Switch to Affero GPL licence* Upgrade of every dependency bundle in the composition* Many, many `bugfixes <https://github.com/Parisson/Telemeta/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed>`_* Thanks to all partners for this **huge** release!

Thanks to Docker, Telemeta is now fully available as a docker composition ready to work. The docker based composition bundles some powerfull applications and modern frameworks out-of-the-box like: Python, Conda, Numpy, Jupyter, Gstreamer, Django, Celery, Haystack, ElasticSearch, MySQL, Redis, uWSGI, Nginx and many more.

* on **Linux**, first install `Git <http://git-scm.com/downloads>`_, `Docker engine <https://docs.docker.com/installation/>`_ (>=1.9) and `docker-compose <https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/>`_ (>=1.8) and open a terminal.* on **MacOSX** or **Windows** install the `Docker Toolbox <https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox>`_ and open a **Docker Quickstart Terminal**.

Then browse the app at http://localhost:9000/ (replacing 'localhost' by the IP given by the docker terminal on OSX or Windows). Note that the service will automatically be reloaded when any code of the app is modified.

You are welcome to participate to the development by forking the Telemeta project on GitHub_, using it as if it were the original and submitting your changes through a Pull Request on the **dev branch ONLY**.
